Radio LOSS and LTE issuez

Hello,
I recently flashed patient zero with the 4.04 system and radios.. ever since then I get signal loss and have to restart my phone as well as when I turn on LTE and there's no 4G signal it won't switch back to 4G.. I posted this question on Droidhive but haven't received a response. Wondering if anyone else is seeing this issue with 4.04. Thanks!

Have you just tried to return to stock? Or at least re-flashing the ROM?

Your on patient zero man... its way less stable than crossbreed . Hence why Droid theory said its for crack flashers who don't mind a few bugs because it has more features.
I'm also on Patient Zero; same thing happens to me. Its a deal with and wait till next build or swap roms
Did you flash the "get ready.zip"? It has the 4.04 radio and baseband . Once I did that I got way less drop outs.

Yeah I flashed the get ready package before flashing the rom..

Question about 4.04 IMM76K radios

I tried posting this in the radio thread but I don't have 10 posts yet flashed the 4.04 IMM76K radios and boot loader on my Verizon LTE nexus three days ago and since then my notifications have been all jacked up. I've been only receiving texts and whatsapp messages. No Gmail, fb messages, or gchat. Anyone else having this problem? Also I know the blue means you're synced to google , is it normal to not be synced regularly? Whenever I switch to 4G it takes a long time to sync and when it does it doesn't stick too long. Any help would be appreciated

Sounds like a radios issue try other radios

Try doing a battery pull and SIM pull. That should update your PRL for the GNex 4G automatically.
Are you on stock or a ROM or Kernel? It could be a bug in an experimental ROM or Kernel.
Usually radios are for transitioning between Airplane Mode/2G/3G/4G from what I know. Its the PRL that's reception.
Also are those radios the new OTA ones that just got received a week or so ago?
I'm running AOKP milestone 4 along with the latest lean kernel and the OTA 4.0.4 radios and everything is running perfectly fine.

I will try the battery and sim pull. Yeah these are the OTA radios , along with those I'm running AOKP milestone 5 and Jame bond 3.0.19 I think it is. I'll let you know how that goes, thanks for the suggestion
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA

Yeah I heard there was issues with milestone 5 and the new radios. People complaining about reboots as well.
If the above doesnt work, do a Nandroid backup, as well as backup your apps with TB and flash milestone 4 with the new radios if you haven't.
Then compare the two. I'm having no issues with my setup whatsoever. Good luck and keep us updated.

So I reset the battery and sim. It seems to have done the trick! Thanks for the help how do you like lean kernel? I'm thinking about switching over
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA

I like it a lot, I switched over to Franco milestone 3 yesterday and haven't had problems either lol. Can't seem to tell the difference.
Make sure you don't type in that random number they say to update your PRL. The only way to update the PRL for a 4G phone is to do a SIM pull, then once it goes back in and you turn the phone on, it updates it.
Also when you are talking about the blue sync...if you mean when the signal bars turn blue, then that means its connected to 3G or 4G. When its gray, its 1x/2G which means its able to make calls ans text but nothing data wise.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA

Did you just flash the kernel or did you change any of the settings? And yeah I heard that was very bad haha. Are you sure about the data thing? I thought blue meant its connected to the Google servers

It is a Google problem. The server has a problem, thus creating this problem for us. I bet it'll be gone on no time
Swyped on my Galaxy Nexus running AOKP with Trinity Kernel, overclocked to 1.4GHz

Started happening to me just a couple of hours ago.... probably a temporary server side issue.

Ditto. I long pressed the notification to be sure it's coming from the OS and it is. Then I force stopped the Google Services Framework.

Alright, thanks. I was getting confused when I found no post. I thought it was something on my end

me too!(from HK GSM GN)

Same here. Happened right after I flashed the sprint radio update... I was like how the hell could this be happening if I'm on wifi haha. Hopefully it'll be gone in the morning.

Reporting the same problem.
I am running Jelly Bean. Is anyone on Ice Cream Sandwich getting the error message?

Seems like a common problem with a lot of guys. Must be a google issue. Facing the same from a few hours back. Hopefully should be resolved soon.

No error on my MediaPad with ICS.
It's up on Phandroid now.
Sent from my HUAWEI MediaPad using Tapatalk 2

It seems to only be affecting devices running Jelly Bean, and more specifically Google Now.

I thought it was an something wrong w paranoid android so I restored my aosp ROM without backing up, dammit. It sucks but good to hear other ppl are getting this error too.

I just thought I am the only one who have this problem on nexus, good that I'm not only one with this problem...
I rebooted my nexus and did force close to the Google account app and then cleared data of it but its not my Nexus's problem so now I have to wait when Google fixes it...

Good call. Google Now is down.

It a good thing I checked here almost flashed a different rom. I thought it was a problem with my rom but its not since everyone is having the same problem.

Got the sign in error during this night (saw the exclamation triangle notification after I woke up). All good now.

Yeah I'm all good also. I flashed to two different roms but I found out it wasn't the roms it was the google servers + jellybean I guess, thanks for confirmation.

Sorry I have to giggle a little bit. You know you're an Android fanatic when a minor glitch that affects users worldwide leads you to panic enough to start flashing ROMs like mad

Should I flash...help

Here's the deal. I have one of the gnex's that had the bad 4g radio and couldn't stay connected to the network logger than 10 minutes. The jb update finally came and fixed. Scared to flash custom Rom in fear old problem might return. Has anyone had one the previously faulty phone and has since flashed a custom Rom with success?

You have nothing to lose but some time if you flash something and don't like it. If the update fixed your problem, almost all custom roms will be using an android version at least equal to what you are running now (most probably newer). You can make a nandroid to restore if you find you have problems with whatever rom you flash. If you don't want to do that, you can always use the factory images posted by google and restore your phone back to the version you are using now. Updated radios probably helped more than anything in a kernel or /system (which is all most custom roms contain - I don't think I've ever seen any that contain radios for the galaxy nexus).

Now running liquid smooth. 4g still strong thanks for the info.

What's happened to Samsung and XDA?

I bought my SIII about 6-8 months ago, coming from the SII.. the Devs and roms for the SII were good and plentiful .. I get the SIII and it seems like there isn't much support for it! I mean my SII shortly after giving it to my wife was updated to 4.1.2 WTF?? I surely thought by now my SIII would be 4.2.2! (Maybe even 4.3!!).. am I wrong for feeling this way? Is it Samsung I should cuss the F out? LoL! Now I have the "itch" to say screw it and start flashing again but nothing seems too promising as a DD

4.1.2 ain't bad man and expect to see 4.2.2 later this year or early next. Plenty of DD's out there

Samsung feels 4.1.2 is pretty much bug free. Now they are struggling to keep up with the booms in technology and software as well. New versions of Android are coming out quicker than Sammy's new phones. Why put out a 4.2.2 when 4.3 is out? So now they concentrate on getting out new phones with 4.3 on it and then they start working on updates to the dozens of existing models. 4.3 was announced as coming to the S3 BUT that will be the international first then US months later depending on carriers.
What is in 4.2.2 that you MUST have? There are 4.3 AOSP ROMs all over if you want that.

There are various ways to flash other carriers roms to T-Mobile, the AT&T variant is almost (and in some cases) a direct port...

It doesn't seem like the newer versions of Android add too much more function than 4.1.2. As far as looks, their are plenty of ways to theme your phone to make it look like whatever you like

Going to have to agree with this. 4.3 even on the best ROMs are alphas at best.
The only semi stable AOSP/CM ROMs are 4.2.2 and under.
And all AOSP/CM ROMs since have a weird bug with Instagram or third party apps and their front facing camera.

Since posting this thread I've used CM10.2 Nightlies and also ParanoidAndroid 3.99 RC2.. I can honestly say (and this is of course my own opinion and result) that CM has been a better experience. I use my phone a bunch for little things, internet, text messaging, FBing, Pictures, XDA, games, etc and haven't had any problems with CM.. Only reason I switched back from PA to CM was honestly only that Candy Crush wasn't compatible with PA (and I barely play CC anymore lol).. I've just lost my ability to use Triangle Away for some reason.. It was working on the CM10.2 09/07 nightly, flashed PA and didn't work. Then flashed back to CM but the 09/26 and still not working, flashed the new kernel and TA still gets stuck at Detecting Packages.. Wish someone would tell me why.. I've posted in like 5 different places and nobody responds

My biggest issues are surrounding bluetooth - I experience issues related to pops when switching songs - almost sounds like a non-flushed buffer, and sometimes major lag... almost like the app has crashed, but it doesn't... it comes back. This was on SlimBean 4.3...
I haen't tried CM or the others primarily because I reverted to 4.1.2 for stability.
My best bet on Triangle Away is to run it just before you boot into download mode... (that SHOULD work...) Samsung introduced stuff back when 4.0 came out where the triangle would get re-set whenever you'd boot into an altered recovery...
